Once again, my daughter... #1

In the episode "Return Of The General" we see the Evil Horde attack Bright Moon, prompting Queen Angella and her daughter Glimmer to fly into action! Obviously this scene is notable because it is one of the few occasions where we see Glimmer fly, and one of the few times we see the mother and daughter fighting side by side. Sadly, as She-Ra's second season entered production it soon became apparent that the budget would not cover the quality of the twenty-eight episodes, prompting not only more stock reuse, but in some cases entire scene and dialogue reuse. Now, given what I have just said, this would not be the last time we would see Queen Angella and Glimmer flying off into battle...

A very memorable scene that fits perfectly into the rest of the plot.Too bad to see such a great cartoon facing budget issues and thus not being able to show its full potential. I remember also the episode "Micah from Brightmoon" where Glimmer was trapped somewhere in a cliff and She-Ra had to save her while the only thing I kept wondering at the time was "didn't Glimmer use to fly..?"
